[Mediawiki-l] Failed adding Special:Wantedpages to navigation bar

Sun Jun 5 07:47:01 UTC 2005

Typo in the previous... following sentence:
"I created it with the text "Special:Wantedpage"
should have been:
"I created it with the text "Special:Wantedpages"

I've corrected it in the copied message below.
